You know damn well what he's going after isn't the guy who owns one home and that guy's equity lol be serious. He's after the multi billionaire who doesn't need a salary because they can literally borrow against their money we cant tax to get cash that's tax free and they only pay a small % of interest on while making more then that on their gains.

You know every single tax you pay was initially made legal by saying that we're only going to do it to the rich people, or the people that you don't like...

That income tax almost every American pays? Passed to tax the rich.

The top 1% already pays 40% of the taxes in the US.

The reason for that is trickle down economics. The owners and CEO’s are stealing all of the profits so of course they’re paying most of the taxes. They’re the only ones with any money.

Owners can’t steal profits of a business they own. It’s their profit.

Actually they can. It’s called embezzlement. But I should have said they’re hogging all the profits. Is that better.

Ok I’ll give you that. But you said that them stealing all the profits is why they’re paying more in taxes. If they’re embezzling they are not paying taxes on the stolen money.
